NOTICE TO MARINERS.

NEW CORAL BANKS AT THE ABRoLHos.
Baron de Teffe, Director of the brazilian
photographic Department, has issued the fol-
lowing notice:
warn navigators that on Sept % discovered
at the north of the Abrol'os Ch1nnel, in lat
II A 20 S, lon q a of Rio Janeiro, the shoal
upon which two French packets had scraped
keels. The indications received in August by
this department placed the bank n ID NE true
from the lyht on Santa Barbara Island, 10 to ID
miles away, but, as now fixed by me, it lies 100
NV true from the light and 10 miles away. It's
shape is irregular and it embraces an area
bounded by Il circle of half a mile radius. /
have named it the Marajo Bank, after the gun
boat in which made the soundings. The shoal
is of madreDoric constitution. and is formed by
an agglomeration of rounded banks, some OF
which are only TO 3S metres beneath low
water of equinoctional spring tides.
warn also of the existence north of Santa
Barbara Island, of three other new round
topped banks not laid down in charts and EN-
bairassing the passage of vessels which are
working out from the southern anchorage
through the cast channel of the island, pre-
viously considered clear and deep Of these
banks the most dan ,erous is = metres under low

FRIGHTENED TO DEATH.
4 Pittsburg Woman Who Had a Nor
tai Fear of Natural Gas.
From the Pittsbttrg Press.


From The Pittsburg Press.
The death of Mrs Nancy f. Reed, wife
of Samuel Reed at her home on Virginia
avenue, Mount Washington, Thursday
night, was caused by fright over natural
gas. She was the daughter of William
Horner, and was married about four months
ago.
About a week ago natural gas was put
into the building. Mrs. Reed had always
been in great fear of the fluid, and did not
wish to put it in The gas was turned on,
and seemed so pleasant and clean that Mrs.
Reeds fears and aversion to its use were in
a measure overcome. In the course of the
day she went down into the store and left
the gas burning ltwas turned on stronger
than she supposed, and before she returned
the stove was red hot. The oil cloth in
front was shriveling and cracking with the
heat, while the heat in the room was I'M
bearable.
This was the way in which Mrs. Reed
found things on her return. When she
opened the door she thought the house was
on fire and screamed. Recovering some
what. she threw open the stove door to cool
the stove. As she did so a mass of flame
burst forth. Mrs Reed, whose nerves were
strung to the highest pitch, and whose
mind was filled with terror of natural gas,
gave way completely under this new shock
Her screams brought assistance. The gas
was turned down and everything was soon
all right But the shock Mrs. Reed sus-
tanned hal been too great. She was COM
petely Frustrated. She wa put to bed and
a physician summoned. She never rallied,
and sank gradually until Thursday night,
when at O'clock she passed away.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept 12.-The
preliminary arrangements of the de

day and Saturday of this week are
almost at an end and strangers who
will participate are already arriving
A programme is arranged for the in

favorable weather should prevail
mammoth parades will fairly exceed
former expectations. The professional
display will include 300 floats, repre-
senting progress in art, manufactures
and science, since the signing of the
constitution. 1t is estimated that
there will be 10000 men and women
in line. Triumphal arches are being
erected in various places. The YES

Party Organization.

By some, it is thought that it does
not make much difference in a county
or city election, as to the political
complexion of the officer and such
vote for what they term ''men, rath-
er than party. We beg leave, as a
Republican, to deny certain premise
upon which these mon partisans base
their ideas about non-partizan cleo
tons. 1t is this, that the Democratic
nominees, or any of them, are better
qualified, as general rule, to fill the
comfy or city offices, than are Rep
ublican nominees. If the Republican
party hopes to win in the next presi-
dental campaign on national issues,
it must be under thorough organiza-
ton. By this is meant, that through
out the land, the party in every coun-
ty and voting precinct should be
working tremendously toward some
end, and that end the success of the
party in each of these counties end
precincts. There are bad choices often
mace in conventions. and this. while
to be deplored, cannot AWAY be pre-
vented. Thomas county, under thor
ough and harmonious organization, is
overwhelmingly Republican in senti-
ment, and will, with anything like a
full party vote, carry its various can
didates into office by large majorities
at the coming election. Let each Re-
publican in the county see to it that
he is committee of one to vote and
work for his party and its nominees
this year, and thus keepup thorough
organization for the important cleo
ton of 1888.
